Jon Stewart 1, Politifact 0: Fox News Viewers Are The Most Misinformed
Jon Stewart 1, Politifact 0: Fox News Viewers Are The Most Misinformed
I have a lot of respect for political fact checking sites. I think they play a critical role, especially in our misinformation-saturated political and media environment.
However, sometimes these sites fall for the allure of phony bipartisanship. In other words, in an environment in which conservatives are more inaccurate and more misinformed about science and basic policy facts, the "fact checkers" nevertheless feel unduly compelled to correct "liberal" errors too—which is fine, as long as they are really errors.
But sometimes they aren't. A case in point is Politifact's recent and deeply misguided attempt to correct Jon Stewart on the topic of…misinformation and Fox News. This is a subject on which we've developed some expertise here…my recent post on studies showing that Fox News viewers are more misinformed, on an array of issues, is the most comprehensive such collection that I'm aware of, at least when it comes to public opinion surveys detecting statistical correlations between being misinformed about contested facts and Fox News viewership. I've repeatedly asked whether anyone knows of additional studies—including contradictory studies—but none have yet been cited.
Stewart, very much in the vein of my prior post, went on the air with Fox's Chris Wallace and stated,
"Who are the most consistently misinformed media viewers? The most consistently misinformed? Fox, Fox viewers, consistently, every poll."
My research, and my recent post, most emphatically supports this statement. Indeed, I cited five (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) separate public opinion studies in support of it—although I carefully noted that these studies do not prove causation (e.g., that watching Fox News causes one to be more misinformed). The causal arrow could very well run the other way—believing wrong things could make one more likely to watch Fox News in the first place.
But the fundamental point is, when it comes to believing political misinformation and watching Fox News, I know of no other studies than these five–though I'd be glad to see additional studies produced. Until then, these five all point in one obvious direction.
"Every poll," to quote Stewart.
Politifact wasn't even aware of the studies I've cited. Instead, the site's attempt to debunk Stewart largely relied on misunderstanding what he meant.
What Stewart obviously meant—and what I mean—is that when it comes to politicized, contested issues where the facts have been made murky due to political biases, it is Fox viewers who are the most likely to believe incorrect things—to fall prey to misinformation. A quintessential example of such an issue is global warming, or whether Saddam Hussein's Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction or was collaborating with Al Qaeda. There are many, many others.
To rebut Stewart's claim, Politifact relied upon irrelevant and off-point studies. Thus, the site cited a number of Pew surveys that examine basic political literacy and relate it to what kind of media citizens consume. E.g., questions like whether people know "who the vice president is, who the president of Russia is, whether the Chief Justice is conservative, which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives and whether the U.S. has a trade deficit."
Too few citizens know the answers to such basic questions—which is lamentable, but also irrelevant in the current context. These are not contested issues, nor are they skewed by an active misinformation campaign. As a result, on such issues, many Americans may be ill-informed but liberals and conservatives are nevertheless able to agree.
Moreover, on such issues, I would expect cable news viewers of all types to be generally better informed than the general public, because such viewers are, by definition, politically engaged—they care about politics. So they are more likely to know the baseline stuff, whatever channel they watch. (Politifact partly acknowledges the criticism here, but still tries to save face.)
That's precisely what was found in a study of a related type of media: Right wing talk radio. C. Richard Hofstetter of San Diego State and his colleagues found of right wing radio listeners that "despite the flamboyance of many hosts and messages, audiences nevertheless appear to hold higher levels of information in association with involvement with political talk." And yet at the same time, the researchers also found that "exposure to conservative talk shows was related to increased misinformation, while exposure to moderate political talk shows was related to decreased levels of political misinformation, after controlling for other variables." In other words, this study found something very similar to what has been repeatedly found about Fox.
Thus, the bulk of the studies cited by Politifact have nothing to do with whether Fox viewers believe the truth, or falsehoods, on politicized and contested issues. I cannot stress how fundamental a distinction this is. Indeed, it is quite literally a separate issue from the perspective of psychology and neuroscience.
From the point of view of the political brain, whether 2 + 2 = 4, or whether Joe Biden is the vice president, is one type of question. It's the type of question where there's no political stake and anyone can agree, because it doesn't require any emotional sacrifice to do so. It therefore likely engages circuits of "cold reasoning."
However, whether global warming is human caused is fundamentally different. The latter issue is politicized, and thus engages emotions, identity, and classic pathways of biased reasoning. It therefore likely triggers circuits of "hot reasoning." (For a study showing why the two are so different with respect to the brain, see here.)
It is of course around contested political facts, and contested scientific facts, where we find active, politically impelled, and emotionally laden misinformation campaigns—and it is in the latter realm that Fox News viewers are clearly more misinformed. Once again, I've cited 5 studies to this effect—concerning the Iraq war, the 2010 election, global warming, health care reform, and the Ground Zero Mosque. By contrast, Politifact only cites two of these studies, and attempts to critique one of them (the 2010 election study)—misguidedly to my mind, but who really even cares. It is obvious where the weight of the evidence lies at this point, unless further, relevant studies are brought to bear.
As a result of all of this, Politifact should either produce relevant research to rebut Stewart, or run a far more forthcoming retraction than has been issued so far. Note, however, that the issue grew a tad more complicated last night when Stewart did an excellent segment on all of this, where he both dramatized how much Fox misinformed viewers and yet also kind of conceded Politifact's point, when he didn't actually have to. He wasn't wrong. They were wrong.
When the fact checkers fail—and in this case, they not only failed, they generated a falsehood of their own–they have a special responsibility to self-correct.
UPDATE: I've run across (thanks to Steve Benen) a sixth survey that supports Stewart. It is a 2009 NBC News poll about health care misinformation, and guess what?
- Chris Mooney's blog
- Log in or register to post comments
I noticed another occasion lately where politi fact claimed that what a liberal said was false, even though it was about 80% true. In fact if you read the text it only barely proved them wrong on a technicality.
What Stewart said was true ISH, it was in the spirit of the truth, it was not a made up thing that does not exist or a completely false reading of a number. It was based on a subset of research. Is that really false? Or just a potentially misleading oversimplification?
last line, they show what they debunked. Politifact's main contention is the phrase "every poll", emphasis on "every". They do not go after the "consistently" part. So, in that regard, they are correct. After all, reasonably there's no way they'd rank that way in "every poll". That said, it's a weak point for Fox to hang their hat on.
They admitted that Fox News viewers was the group with the highest percentage of "misperceptions" about factual data, which was what Jon Stewart was talking about. But how can one get "misperceptions," unless what they perceive to be so is not so? How does one get misperceptions? Could it be from being misinformed? I'm guessing mmmmmmmmmmmaybe.
All Murdocks news outlets probably fit this picture.
For example:
The Wall St Journal has printed absolute rubbish on global warming.
The Australian newspaper has been so egregious in this regard, that Tim Lambert, at Deltoid blog, has written something like 61 articles titled. - The Australian's War on Science.
What this article has to do with the "environment" is anyone's guess.
It's clear that Desmogblog.com, run by James Hoggan & Associates Public Relations Inc., is really nothing more than yet another far left-wing hate site, funded by millionaires.
There was a time when the environmental movement still had some legitimacy. It has long ago been co-opted and infiltrated by the political left to advance their agenda.
"Irrelevant" -- True, the facts usually are irrlevant to neo-Marxists -- oops, I mean, "environmentalists" -- particularly when you've just lost another argument, and beclowned yourself. Again.
Funny how it's not so "irrelevant" when you crybabies are wailing pitifully about the Koch brothers.
Oh, then it's completely "relevant", LOL!
there are liberals who are millionaires and fund stuff, ergo any media outlet that's liberal is funded by millionaires? That circumvents logic completely and is irrelevant.
And to the example you specify, it is relevant when public officials are given campaign contributions from a rich source because that turns the government that the official is running for into an oligarchy, which is a leap and bound from totalitarianism.
as for the rest of what you have to say, it's as irrelevant as the quotations you use.
From an independent's point of view, both left and right are not really uniformed or misinformed. They are simply blinded by ideology, caught in the construct of the corporatist plutocracy. Can't you see that you are pawns pitted against each other by the globalist chess masters.
So it's acknowledged that Fox viewers are about average on knowing simple facts that aren't contested, like who the Vice-President is. The problem is that Fox viewers are wrong or misinformed about politicized or contested facts. OK. But then, as one of the World Public Opinion surveys admits, the problem becomes how do we objectively determine what the truth is when facts are contested. Their answer is- basically- that what the experts say is the truth is the truth.
So when these surveys ask about global warming, the arbiters of facts are the "majority of scientists". When they ask about health care reform, the Congressional Budget Office is the expert. On the US economy, it's a "majority of economists". Does this seem right?
It's been a staple of news reporting on HCR that the CBO is required by law to spit out calculations based on whatever numbers congress inputs, no matter how absurd the underlying assumptions. Basic GIGO there.
And majorities of whatever expert profession you care to name have been and will continue to be wrong more often than any of us likes to think about. You don't know history if you can't see that.
So this business of Fox viewers being wrong on contested facts really comes down to who they (and you) trust to be the arbiter of what the truth is. So a great number of FNC viewers are misinformed- that means they don't trust the same experts that you do. Why would that be? Our expert class has done a fabulous job so far.
I second that.
Global warming is an excellent example to use for this discussion. Though "a majority of scientists" may agree that we're facing global warming, that's not all scientists, and the ones who disagree aren't all a bunch of crazy hacks. It's not a "fact" in the same way that Joe Biden is the vice president, it's an opinion, granted the opinion of people smarter and more knowledgeable of the topic than any of us here, but still an opinion. After all, it wasn't all that long ago that similarly smart people said we were heading for another ice age. You can't be "misinformed" for not subscribing to an opinion, no matter how popular it is.
PolitiFact's stance, though, was based on Stewart's assertion that Fox News viewers are consistently the most misinformed, in every poll. Granted, they are listed low in some polls, but not in every poll. Stewart himself even conceded that.
"Global warming is an excellent example to use for this discussion. Though "a majority of scientists" may agree that we're facing global warming, that's not all scientists" This is a typical argument meant to distract from a level of agreement amongst experts that is described as consensus. Same approaches were used by tobacco companies, and those polluting air, water and food. Where would be be without experts - lower life expectancy, lower civil and rights, no constitution... It can be touch for some but experts know better than most the population but they face the wrath of special interests who exploit the poorly informed public.
Are you sure of this? Every poll I've seen shows that FNC viewers are, by a large margin, perhaps 5-9%, the most knowledgeable viewers. MSNBC viewers are the worst, followed by the networks sans ABC, followed by CNN, followed by ABC. I've seen this repeatedly in polls.
I never attributed it to FOX though. Many people who watch FNC are old, so I attributed it to that. You get smarter as you get older. Hopefully at least.
Can you link to them? Frankly Id have a hard time believing you. The entire world laughs at Fox News. It is synonymous with the worst type of propaganda disinformation. Over my side of the Atlantic not even a right winger would trust anything from that US Pravda outfit.
Wait, what?
"In our poll, 72% of self-identified FOX News viewers believe the health-care plan will give coverage to illegal immigrants..."
You believe that this is a mistake? Haha, who's the idiot now? Wait and see, mon frere. I suspect that this is an example of how they judged FNC viewers as less knowledgeable. Like the time that they said that there would be death panels and Obama laughed it off... and then created the death panel.
"exposure to conservative talk shows was related to increased misinformation, while exposure to moderate political talk shows was related to decreased levels of political misinformation, ..."
Let me add the term 'dis-information' to the continuum of uninformed to misinformed since what we're attempting to measure is the exposure to deception. The nice way of describing Fox's influence on its viewership is to 'misinform' them but the key issue is intent, even though this is harder to prove. Moreover, the term 'misinform' still preserves to some degree the knowledge-of-facts frame whereas the term 'dis-inform' denotes -- at least in my opinion -- an intention to suppress or distort truth.
Disagreements over climatological findings aren't true debates in the sense that both sides have a desire to discover the truth, but rather, there's an asymmetry of motivations. The goal for many critics of AGW is to defeat their perceived opposition by any means necessary. The following excerpt illustrates this strategy.
"Political warfare in short, is warfare--not public relations. It is
one part persuasion and two parts deception.... The aim of political
warfare...is to discredit, displace, and neutralize an opponent, to
destroy a competing ideology, and to reduce the adherents to political
impotence. It is to make one's own values prevail by working the
levers of power, as well as by using persuasion." (Frank Barnett, 1961).
"Jon Stewart 1, Politifact 0: Fox News Viewers Are The Most Misinformed"
I have to say, that kinda sounds like someone who's misinformed might say. The facts are clearly with the FNC viewers. They're slightly more well informed than the other viewers. Get over it. You should probably just say, "They're smarter because they're so old" or something. That way you'd still get a pretty good jab in.
Trying to misinform people that FNC viewers are not the more intelligent group is just going to make you look dumb, as if the polls didn't already do that.
Seriously, go with, 'damn, they're old.'

Roasted Tomato Salad
If you are a tomato addict, like me, and you think that good bread dipped into fruity olive oil and tomato juices is the food of the gods, then roast the tomatoes first and you'll agree that the gods have excelled themselves.
Serves 4-6 as a starter
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Summer Collection and Delia's Vegetarian Collection.
Skin the tomatoes first of all by pouring boiling water over them and leaving for 1 minute, then drain and, as soon as they are cool enough to handle, slip off the skins. (Protect your hands with a cloth if necessary.) Now cut each tomato in half, around the middle rather than vertically, and place the halves in the roasting tin (cut side uppermost) and season with salt and freshly milled pepper.

Keep track of where you are losing power and where you are not losing power. In addition to the problems mentioned in the other thread, you could have a "subpanel" which also has loose connection(s).
Then also try calling the electric company and have them check their end, then call the electrician back and let him know what specific rooms are having problems. This would help track down which specific "leg" is having the problem.

Todd Heap believes in Ryan Lindley, team's other QBs
Still, he's had a good look at what's been going on this season, including the offense's continued struggles.
Things may have come to a head last week when head coach Ken Whisenhunt benched John Skelton in favor of rookie Ryan Lindley, but the move, while shocking to some, didn't really surprise Heap.
In fact, the veteran is pretty impressed with the sixth-round pick from San Diego State.
"He's a confident guy, he's a guy that has come in and gained a grasp of the offense very quickly," Heap told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday. "He's got a good presence in the huddle, he's got a good presence on the field.
"He makes some tough throws."
Heap said it's tough for a quarterback to come in and play well after not receiving the starter's share of practice reps leading up to a game, and even though Lindley struggled to the tune of completing just 9-of-20 passes for 64 yards, he's confident the player has a bright future.
listen Listen: Todd Heap, TE of the AZ Cardinals
Todd Heap joins the guys to talk some Cardinals and ASU football. Is Ken Whisenhunt calling too many plays for the Cardinals offense? And, ASU and U of A play this Saturday. Todd says both teams are heading in the right direction, can he see a day where the Territorial cup means something more than just bragging rights?
That's not to say Heap believes Lindley should be the team's starter going forward. The former ASU star said he still believes in Skelton and Kevin Kolb, but added it's simply a matter of making the plays that are there.
"We talk about this almost every week, it's about executing the plays that are called and getting the job done when the team's counting on you," he said. "So that's what it boils down to and you've got to do it more times than you don't."

Sanstorm machines are built to last, and have been since 1941. Blast Dry, Wet, and Slurry...Sanstorm can handle it all.
Sanstorm Blasters stand the test of time.
The owner of this particular B tank, built in 1945 told us the machine is blasting away...66 years later, and they didn't even need parts !
"There is an extensive amount of space we have cleaned, and countless hours we've put on the machine with very little maintenance, etc. Thanks." -Steve
"It's not as hard to make money as to keep it." -Quote from our owner - when asked why we don't have more wear parts. We want our customers to make money AND keep it.
"You guys are very supportive of your contractors. I made the right choice in selecting your equipment, Thank you" - Scott
"I was on a job site with the Sanstorm blaster and the 'other guys.' They took 6 men 10 hours to do with 'their' machine with the Sanstorm blaster and I did in 1 hour. It is so easy, even a dummy could do it." - Zach, a Sanstorm Distributor
Sanstorm makes the best quality blaster, simple to use, lasts for years, trouble-free, and ooohhhh so efficient. Make money, and keep more by saving at LEAST 30% in abrasives.
I bought my Sandstorm pot in 1977. It has been in constant use for over 30 years. It has been turned over, dropped out of a moving pickup, and run into by a farm tractor. The only maintenance I have performed is to replace the internal media supply pipe, the fill cap gasket, and a few other wear items but, the pot has always worker even at 10 degrees below zero. I worked in Kansas City, Missouri one winter, there were several days when my pot was the only one that worked out of the four other blast pots on the job site. Jim – Superior Coatings

Goku doesn't use magic.
Given the massive power level inflation that happened in DBZ, I think we would reasonably have to consider where in the series we're talking about.
Also, Superman's powers are seldom really tested. He's so much more powerful than most everyone else in his universe (Darkseid is a notable exception, but there just aren't that many others) that he has no way to really train. Give him the opportunity to train like Goku did, and to fight opponents who can actually give him a challenge, and it's a whole new ballgame. Even if his powers are charged by sunlight, there's still skill in how to use them.

4Suite XML is a Python-based toolkit for XML application development. It features a library of integrated tools for XML processing, implementing open technologies such as DOM, SAX, XPath, XSLT, XInclude, XPointer, XLink, XUpdate, RELAX NG, and XML/SGML Catalogs. The RDF and Repository components of 4Suite are separate packages that must be installed separately, on top of 4Suite XML.
ClearSilver is a high-performance, powerful, and language-neutral HTML template system. It enforces a separation between presentation code and application logic which makes writing, debugging, and maintaining Web pages easier. It can be used from C/C++, Python, Perl, Java, and Ruby. It runs on Windows and Unix.
4Suite is a Python-based toolkit for XML and RDF application development. It features a library of integrated tools for XML processing, implementing open technologies such as DOM, RDF, XSLT, XInclude, XPointer, XLink, XPath, XUpdate, RELAX NG, and XML/SGML Catalogs. Layered upon this is an XML and RDF data repository and server, which supports multiple methods of data access, query, indexing, transformation, rich linking, and rule processing, and provides the data infrastructure of a full database system, including transactions, concurrency, access control, and management tools. It also supports HTTP, RPC, SOAP, and FTP, plus APIs in Python and XSLT.
AntFlow builds upon Apache Ant to provide a new approach to simplifying system automation that uses pipelines of hot folders chained together to perform a given task. Using XML, it associates an automated task such as data transfer, encryption, or XML processing with a directory on the local system. Whenever a file is copied or written into the hot folder, the associated task is executed and the file is moved to the next hot folder in the pipeline for further processing.
This C code module gives the Apache 1.3.x HTTP server the ability to correctly negotiate content types for XHTML documents. Currently these are sent as text/HTML for most Web sites. This gives maximum compatibility among older Web clients, but is not recommended practice according to the W3C.
Babeldoc is a framework and set of applications to process documents for business-to-business and other Internet/integration applications. It is primarily intended for text documents, especially XML, but supports a wide range of operations and data types. It has a sophisticated journaling system that supports replaying and reprocessing. Babeldoc is pipeline based and supports numerous ways to combine the pipeline stages in a dynamically reconfigurable fashion. It has a GUI and a Web-based console for document processing and monitoring, and comes with tools for the tranformation of flatfile data to XML, archival, and cryptography. Additionally it is able to scan various data sources based on sophisticated constraints.

The Cold War
A New History
John Lewis Gaddis - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $13.99
"Outstanding ... The most accessible distillation of that conflict yet written." The Boston Globe
The dean of Cold War historians (The New York Times) now presents the definitive account of the global confrontation that dominated the last half of the twentieth century. Drawing on newly opened archives and the reminiscences of the major players, John Lewis Gaddis explains not just what happened but whyfrom the months in 1945 when the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. went from alliance to antagonism to the barely averted holocaust of the Cuban Missile Crisis to the maneuvers of Nixon and Mao, Reagan and Gorbachev. Brilliant, accessible, almost Shakespearean in its drama, The Cold War stands as a triumphant summation of the era that, more than any other, shaped our own.

I think that Joe is the leader because he is the person who makes the decisions, like when he says they need to sleep or when they are leaving to go to a new place. Isadora is the idea generator, because she got the idea to feed Beast 11 the grass from Hellabeezia. Jack is the follower because he doesn't make any big decisions for the group.

"This rug is undoubtedly one of
the best purchases we have
ever made. It is a VERY long
stair runner (covers 17 steps),
so it was custom cut and bound.
It is basketweave seagrass. I
was searching for two of these
in room size rugs last year and
saw nothing that was a comparable value, so we bought
something else. If I had found
this website then those room
size rugs would be in our home.
This material is extremely
comfortable to walk on. It is
really wonderful on stairs
because it doesn't show the
everyday wear (and dirt) of
carpet. This is also without
a doubt the finest quality of
seagrass I found anywhere."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Fabulous buy. Great look. November 24, 2008
"I love this rug. I've ordered from other online dealers, and this is the first time I am thrilled. Will fit any decor. Fabulous stylish look with any style furniture. You will NOT be sorry."

Triple Complex NicoTonic™
Homeopathic remedy to relieve symptoms of quitting smoking such as irritability, restlessness and tension
- Reduces irritability and restlessness while quitting smoking

- Relieves nervous tension during cessation
- Maintains routine balance of cell salts in the body
- Price: $27.95
- Price: $55.90

I can happily say that this is not an attempt but a success story thanks to your natural products- Max, NY, USA
What is Triple Complex NicoTonic?
Triple Complex NicoTonic is a safe, non–addictive, natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients especially selected to relieve irritability, restlessness and tension while quitting smoking.
Triple Complex NicoTonic is a combination of three biochemic cellular–supporting tissue salts especially selected for their benefits on the nervous system. NicoTonic helps to prevent this 'short fuse syndrome' during nicotine withdrawal.
Triple Complex NicoTonic is taken internally to soothe the nerves and reduce the nervous tension and agitation we often associate with quitting smoking. Presented in liquid form, Triple Complex NicoTonic is easy to ingest and hassle–free with no artificial colors or preservatives.
Due to its unique homeopathic formula, Triple Complex NicoTonic is safe for all ages, as well as during pregnancy and nursing.
All Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts are manufactured in an FDA and GMP registered pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of qualified homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. Individual ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
Finding other ways to "light up" your life
Deciding to quit smoking is a big decision and often a difficult one to make and stick to. The benefits of smoking cessation are unparalleled as cigarette smoking is one of the biggest contributors to ill health. Quitting can only benefit your health.
People who are trying to stop smoking can become extremely irritable and restless, easily 'flying off the handle' or snapping at those around them. They can also become forgetful and lacking in concentration.
The natural way
Because quitting can be tough, it is important to use all the support you can find. Nature is a resource you can depend on. Supporting the body and maintaining a routine balance of cell salts in the body can help to provide the support you need to make it all the way to the non–smoking zone!
What are the Ingredients?
Triple Complex NicoTonic is a 100% homeopathic formula and contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Kali phosphoricum (6X), Natrum muriaticum (6X), Natrum phosphoricum (6X).
- Kali phosphoricum (6X) is well known for its soothing effect on jittery nerves. It is a favorite homeopathic remedy for short tempers and irritability, also helping to reduce common headaches.
- Natrum muriaticum (6X) is recommended to support fluid balance in the body, thus helping each cell to remove toxins built up during years of smoking.
- Natrum phosphoricum (6X) soothes the nervous system and is often recommended for mental exertion and agitation.
This homeopathic remedy is an OTC medicine registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Native Remedies is the leading brand of natural remedies known for safe, effective and quality products. Our remedies are formulated by natural health experts and produced under the highest pharmaceutical standards in FDA-registered, GMP certified facilities. We utilize the finest quality ingredients that are officially monographed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts never contain any animal products, gluten, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and are not tested on animals. Our products are always backed by our One Year Unconditional Money Back Guarantee.
How do I use Triple Complex NicoTonic?
Mix drops in 1/4 cup of water and sip slowly or put drops directly into the mouth.
For all ages: Acute: Mix 0.25 mL or 0.50 mL in 1/4 cup of water and sip slowly every hour when needed or until symptoms subside.
Chronic: Take 0.25 mL or 0.50 mL 3 times daily.
Triple Complex NicoTonic is a homeopathic remedy and is safe for all ages and during pregnancy and breastfeeding. May also be taken along with prescription medicine.
Although Triple Complex NicoTonic is very effective as a stand–alone product, we also recommend it be used in conjunction with our other quit-smoking tonics in our complete Stop Smoking UltraPack.
Caution: If symptoms persist or worsen, a healthcare professional should be consulted. If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use. Keep this and all medicines out of reach of children.
How long will a bottle last?
One 59 mL bottle of Triple Complex NicoTonic will last approximately 39-40 days depending on the amount taken and the frequency of use.
How has NicoTonic helped others?
"I wanted to let you know that …There have been up days and down days, but I have survived. I feel as determined as I did when I started and I am still determined …I get ratty as hell – but Triple Complex NicoTonic helps tremendously with that and is my lifesaver! Thanks for a wonderful and healthy (remedy)!"
"…Now I can happily say that this is not an attempt but a success story thanks to your natural …products. The Triple Complex NicoTonic is so soothing and just the right thing...whenever … (things) gets too much. At first I practically lived on it, but now about 10 weeks later I only use it a few times a day. Yesterday I did not use it at all, but today I needed it again, but that is fine! …This program has saved me a fortune already."
—Max, NY, USA
"My husband has asked me to write in and thank you for the help and support you have given us while we both stopped smoking. …We have received nothing but wonderful support from everyone and the remedies have been amazingly effective. I can't say that there were no difficult moments, but we did it together. I will always remember the day we both wanted to tear each other's hair out and survived on handing each other theTriple Complex NicoTonic every time one of us threatened to blow a gasket! Thank you once again from both of us."
—Trevor and Molly, UK

Far Cry 3 (NA)
Customer notes
This game requires a free UPLAY account to play.
Golden Joystick Category Winner
"Far Cry 3 is important for the same reason as Far Cry 2. It's a shooter that considers shooters thoughtfully, both in the way they're designed and the way we play them, and then asks us to do the same." - IGN.com
"All of it is entertaining, and it gives you a sense that the island is little more than your plaything- a feeling that's only emphasized as your skills increase and you become a badass cross between Turok and Rambo. It's for that reason that Far Cry 3 comes across as a fresh experience and ranks up there as one of the best shooters of 2012." - worthplaying.com

Very Fun Co-opnorthmane | Feb. 10, 2014 | See all northmane's reviews »
Far Cry 3 is one of those games you hope lives up to the hype and it actually does. Great story, acting and action/challenges keeps you coming back for more. Played the co-op with friends over the holidays and it was fun. The missions are short about 5 minutes each but due to the challenge for a few of them, you need to plan your strategy as a group in order to complete them. Overall, fun and well balanced for experienced players.
AWESOMEDHalv | Feb. 8, 2014 | See all DHalv's reviews »
This game is my number 1 favorite of all time. I got it unsure of what to expect, but I am glad that I did. The character arc of Jason, coupled with the massive open world, pop culture references, and themes from works such as Lord of the Flies makes his descent into insanity unforgettable. While the base game can be a bit easy at times (the only reason I knocked off 5 points), the modding community is great -- it even has its own nexus page. This unlocks the potential for multiple playthroughs with greater challenge. Overall, in my opinion this is the best game of all time.
Good game - very graphic heavydamienjameswebb | Jan. 30, 2014 | See all damienjameswebb's reviews »
Far Cry 3 is one of those perfect games. Something that you can always come to again and again and enjoy thoroughly. The story is solid, the game-play is solid, and the world is absolutely beautiful. The only issue i came across was trying to get it to work on my laptop. I got it working only after a little tweak here and there and even still was not the best it could be. If run on a decent computer it would would would be an amazing experience. The pacing of the game is very well done and the missions keep the options fresh and interesting (even if the main missions are a little strait forward)
Overall, a good game but needs a little more work in the way of performance compatibility.
Vivid Wildlife & Gameplaytheshoemann | Jan. 27, 2014 | See all theshoemann's reviews »
I picked this game up somewhat on a whim, but had heard really great reviews of it. The story is interesting and action packed, but seemed kind of short compared to most stories. The large selling point to me was the wild life and how the player could manipulate the wildlife to their offensive advantage through the story. The hunting and assassination missions were rather fun, but the other side missions seemed lacking compared to the rest of the game.
Compellingchataolauj | Jan. 23, 2014 | See all chataolauj's reviews »
This game is everything you would want in a action shooter. The visuals of this game are awesome and the gameplay is awesome too! Awesome and any other synonyms of awesome are really the only words you can use to describe this game. The characters are what makes you hold on to your mouse/controller for hours and hours. This game will make you play non-stop until you're finished with it. There are two endings to this game as well. One of them is pretty stupid, and the other is sad. Really good game, so get it while you have money because I don't think there will be a permanent price drop anytime soon. It does go on sale on various websites every now and then.

The researchers say their observations -- to be published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics -- reveal how matter is being dragged into the centre of the huge gaseous cloud by the gravitational pull of the forming star -- or stars -- along a number of dense threads or filaments.
"The remarkable observations from ALMA allowed us to get the first really in-depth look at what was going on within this cloud," said lead author Dr Nicolas Peretto, from Cardiff University. "We wanted to see how monster stars form and grow, and we certainly achieved our aim. One of the sources we have found is an absolute giant -- the largest protostellar core ever spotted in the Milky Way!

Clothing:Jewelry:Jewelry Sets:Navajo Turquoise Necklace and Earrings
Navajo Turquoise Necklace and Earrings
Price: $55.98
Price: $55.98
The Navajo have used turquoise in art and ritual for thousands of years. It is believed to ensure favor with one's yei, a holy being who mediates between the human and supernatural worlds. It can appease the winds and help bring rain. The strands of this handcrafted necklace are meant to symbolize and connect past, present, and future. The teardrop earrings are traced with sterling silver. Please accept slight variations because of the natural materials. Handmade by Navajo artisans in Arizona.
Necklace is 19"L. Earrings are 3/4"L.
Believed to bestow the wearer with courage, luck, health, and protection, turquoise has been used in jewelry making for millennia by cultures as diverse as the Navajo, ancient Egyptians, and Tibetans. Turquoise can range in color from light yellow-green to dark blue, and usually contains turquoise matrix, the dark veins of other minerals with which it developed. It figures in the creation myth of the Anasazi Indians, who tell that the tribe first entered the world through the mouth of a New Mexico cave that is now a turquoise mine. In Tibet, the sky is called "the turquoise of heaven," and both men and women value jewelry featuring the gem in sky blue hues. Turquoise is sometimes given as a love token to one's betrothed, because its color is said to remain pure as long as the affection lasts.
